Kabab koobideh

کباب کوبیده ,کوبیده ,kūbide

Kabab koobideh is an Iranian type of kofta kabab made from ground lamb, often mixed with salt, ground black pepper and grated onions. Koobideh is derived from the past participle of the Persian infinitive koobidan (کوبیدن), meaning "to pound," which refers to the traditional method of preparing the meat. In some regions, the dish is also known as "koufteh kabab," originating from the older Persian root kouftan, meaning "to slam" or "to hit." Traditionally, the meat was placed on a flat stone or log and pounded with a wooden mallet to achieve the desired texture. The meat is then cooked on a seekh (سیخ), the Persian word for "skewer." Koobideh is similar to the Turkish Adana kebab, though there may be regional variations in preparation and flavor. The word kebab( Kabab) is also a Persian word and appears in the poetry of Persian-speaking poets, including Rudaki, in the 9th century AD. Therefore, any country that serves this dish under the name kebab has been influenced by kebab from Iran.
